TWRP Successfully installed 4.5.5.1

Hi bibikalka,

I have successfully installed TWRP on 4.5.5.1 using your instructions from your thread.

I did it manually using Option B:

[IMG="cmd"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15519407/twrp.png[/IMG]

I'm going to install GAPPS next. (edit: removed question about upgrading after further reading) :)

Thank you for all your help.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
OK, excellent news !!! So 4.5.3 + TWRP are confirmed !!! Thanks for daring ! :D :D :D

Now stay put until 5.1.1 is captured since there is no reason to risk bricking with the earlier Lollipop versions.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Antonntminh:
Root confirm working on my HD6 running 4.5.5.1

I'll try flash GApps now, what package of GApps are you recommended?

thanks for the tut :)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] kenshin1388:
I can add another confirmation that TWRP does work from OTA 4.5.5.1 after rooting via kingroot 4.8 and flashing TWRP via method B using ADB.

Maybe later I will use some of my horrible Java knowledge to automate the ADB method. Will give me another project instead of my lightweight HTTP server.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
What's wrong with the automation via Gscript as proposed in that TWRP post ? ;) It works really well, I am using it all the time!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] kenshin1388:
Nothing, I just know people like their options. As well as I would love to expand my knowledge in programming little by little.

I've worked on a simple chat room for the past 2 years simple because I've had no project ideas lol.

Edit: Okay just looked and it seems you must put all files in place for gscript and such. I was talking about a simple pre-packaged program simple to automate the entire process of placing the needed files and flashing everything for you. Something you can start up, it will check comparability, then if able you can click "flash TWRP" to start the process.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Ok, thanks! I just was not sure why it seems that Gscript looks scarier to people than other options. Indeed, a PC script could do the same thing, if one desires (I believe DoLooper was looking at something similar). Another idea is to have the script preserve the bootloaders that are on the device, and make a flashable zip out of those. Then it's super easy to return to what the device had before everything was replaced by 4.5.3 bootloaders + TWRP.

Guys, I am on 5.01 dev preview by following this guide http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/root-developer-preview-lollipop-os-5-t3172408

I wanted to try to downgrade to OS4 and see if I can get 5.1.1, after requesting downgrade from my amazon account what do I need to do?

When you say downgrade to OS4 using TWRP,which zip file am I exactly flashing ?

After flashing OS4 where do I request OS5 update? from amazon account or by hitting "update" in the system update screen on the fire tablet ?

TIA
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Antonntminh:
Hey, I know it is risky, but I really want to update to Fire OS 5, so could you suggest the safest way to flash? Thank alot.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
If you insist ...

There a slight chance that the earliest 5.2.0 bootloaders won't brick after 4.5.5.1 . On the other hand, they may brick just the same as the 5.2.2u2 bootloaders.

So follow instructions from here :

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

But, in Step 1).3 flash 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip from post #2 instead of 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip

This will replace the bootloaders with 5.2.0 version, which may (or may not) take off after 4.5.5.1

Please ensure that you have valid warranty !!! You've been warned ;)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Antonntminh:
Thanks, I will save this for later if no guide for safe update to OS 5,

Btw, do we have any eta for the flash guide from 4.5.5.1 to 5.x?

Thanks
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jleonard711:
I just want to clarify something. If I'm currently on 4.5.5.1 and want to root my device, do I then NEED to disable OTA updates and install TWRP to proceed with installing OS 5? Or can I just leave on auto updates so I can get updated to OS 5 via OTA? Or will doing the OTA to OS 5 remove root? If I want to install Gapps do I need TWRP?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Well, 5.1.1 has been already captured, so no need to try to grab it anymore :

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/psa-fireos-5-1-1-wild-t3304133

If you auto-update, you'll get Lollipop, but without root. You'll have to downgrade to 4.5.3 to root, but you already have a rootable 4.5.5.1, so why no start here ? Therefore you actually do want to install TWRP, since that's how you install Lollipop with root :

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

FireOS 4 is really resilient about OTA, once it starts downloading, it'll continue even after the OTA program is disabled. I recommend you do a factory reset to kill that right now. Then you root, install TWRP, and install Lollipop manually.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jleonard711:
Okay, so the only way to retain root while upgrading to Lollipop is to use TWRP? And I did already do a factory reset after I saw that 5.0.1 had started downloading because I wanted to root and then capture the file, but then literally right after I posted here I saw that someone else posted a few hours earlier that they had just captured it.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Teilky:
I have tried. Installing twrp with flashify says it flashed but won't go into recovery.king root worked fine. I am lost a little running 4.5.5.1 .there are a lot of tutorials not sure which one to follow any help appreciated. Thanks
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Antonntminh:
You are not follow the guide properly, it use a different method to get twrp after rooting using kingroot, does not use flashify. Read the guide again and you will know.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Indeed! The problem with Flashify in 4.5.5.1 is that the bootloaders have not been replaced with the 4.5.3 version. That's what post #2 is for in the guide below! Follow the guide, and you will do fine :

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
So I was thinking for unrooted newbies coming from OS 4.5.4, 4.5.5 (if rootable without downgrading) and 4.5.5.1 it would be safer to go ahead and install TWRP on rooted device so if there's any problem with bootloader files, they can back out and still have TWRP.

But sounds like to install TWRP they must downgrade to 4.5.3 for the bootloaders. So that means either use post #2 method (no TWRP on device) or do extra step of downgrading. IDK. I worry about them. (I heart newbies) :)

Obviously, the brain's a little mushy tonight. The same is true for 4.5.4/.5 if they're rootable with latest kingroot, right? TWRP can't be installed on those with Flashify either cuz of need for 4.5.3 bootloaders. Thanks!EDIT [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION]: NVM. Just lost it for awhile. Guess I'll let them take their lives in their hands and dd 4.5.3 bootloaders and TWRP, hoping they got the right recovery_only or recovery_uboot on board with the update. (Dang, Amazon does not make this easy! It's like they have no sympathy for us at all!) :D :p

EDIT2: OH, COOL! Missed this crucial line: "To get TWRP after rooting, please follow the guide below, once in TWRP, you are done, reboot back to system." Works nicely. All's well!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
OK, it sounds like you have it all figured out! :D Indeed, whenever TWRP needs to be run, 4.5.3 bootloaders must be present. By coincidence, they are also OK to leave in place if the system is FireOS4 (they will boot any version just fine). For FireOS5, no such luck, after TWRP we must restore bootloaders back or it won't boot into system.

Btw, it appears that the latest Lollipop 541 bootloaders work fine after everything (no reports of bricks anywhere). So it should be OK to just flash 541, add stock recovery, and forget about messing with prior bootloader versions as I've done in my guide. Amazon also gave the latest version the vote of confidence by posting it officially on their website (not that it means much these days ... :( )
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Well, that's good news! So, no reason at all for those of us with 5.0.1 bootloaders to keep 'em?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Well, I am still keeping my 5.2.0 bootloaders, just in case ;) Perhaps now after 5.4.1 bootloader nothing would brick, but I don't want to find out :D

Unrooted and Removed Rootability

I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 6 (4th Gen) with Kingroot, then renamed OTA to stop OTA updates. Then I did something silly, I tried switching to SuperSU via Super-Sume. It looked like it worked, SuperSU was responsive, everything looked perfect until I told it to install as system app. Upon reboot I got a 'Software update in progress...' then lock screen, checking SuperSU again said SU was missing and it did not have root.

Kingroot now fails to root device. I've tried KingRoot Desktop 3.2.0 and KingRoot APK 4.90. I also did a restore just to see if that'd flush out the bug. I'm stuck.

FIXED: Just keep running the KingRoot APK over and over, then it works. SOLUTION: Don't try replacing KingRoot with SuperSu until you know you can.

Booting from AP fastboot to charging mode

boot to AP Fastboot and it says Battery Low

Connect the phone/Device ato a Wall Charger (not PC)

-In AP Fastboot Mode hold Volume down& power buttons at the same time for +10 seconds

- When screen goes black...release power button

-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ to boot to Boot Menu.

- In Boot Menu scroll down with volume down to BP Tools, press volume up to select

- Device should boot to Charging Mode with battery icon

- Once battery is charged, try flashing in AP Fastboot again

This will only work if battery charging Firmware is still preset and not corrupted

If Motorola Device will not boot to Charging Mode, a Fastboot cable will be needed.

When I connected the phone to the charger, then flashed Motorola logo and then "Android figurine with an exclamation point" ...

When I enter the AP fastboot, thus:

1) Normal Powerup - restart and again - "Android figurine with an exclamation point"

2) Recovery - "Android figurine with an exclamation point"

3) AP fastboot - attached photo

4) BP SBF falst - photo

5) BP only - only illuminates Motorola logo

6) BP and HW Diag Boot AP - Motorola logo and then "Android figurine with an exclamation point"

7) BP Tools - Motorola logo and then "Android figurine with an exclamation point"

How should I proceed? It seems that there is not really a system. I just calmly original original system and how to crank up.

When first connected, I noticed that the AP was fast Battery LOW and now there is a Battery OK.

Thank you for your help
